Lana Del Rey “Gods and Monsters” here’s a little bit of the lyrics
In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an angel looking to get fucked hard
Like a groupie incognito, posing as a real singer
Life imitates art
Bloody sexy song x |

"Our lips are sealed.
Fun boy Three.
In fact almost everything with Terry Hall ,he seems to be one of the most underrated artists ever!
"
The Go-Go’s released this as their debut single in 1981. It was co-written by Jane Wiedlin & Tony Hall. Fun Boy Three released their version in 1983 |

UB40- rarely shown the respect here they have elsewhere in the world. One in Ten is over 40 years old, as relevant now as ever in places- Beautiful and depressing in equal parts.
I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don't exist
Nobody Knows me
But I'm always there
A statistical reminder
Of a world that doesn't care
My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I'm the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime?
I'm the child that never learns to read
'Cause no-one spared the time
I am the one in ten ...
I'm the murderer and the victim
The licence with the gun
I'm a sad and bruised old lady
In an ally in a slum
I'm a middle aged businessman
With chronic heart disease
I'm another teenaged suicide
In a street that has no trees
I am the one in ten ... etc
I'm a starving third world mother
A refugee without a home
I'm a house wife hooked on Valium
I'm a Pensioner alone
I'm a cancer ridden spectre
Discovering the earth
I'm another hungry baby
I'm an accident of birth. |

Sir, Sir I know it!!!
The first picture of you
The first picture of summer
See the flowers, sing their joy.
Fantastic song.
I always thought it would have been a brilliant sound track to One Summer: Billy and Icky's misguide escapade, in search of Benlech mountain. Great telly deserves great music. |

What the hell is a cornflake girl? some times great abstract lyrics are just that, great.
I'd love her to write sing with Peter Gabriel just like Kate Bush, Sinead O'connor Paula Cole and Laurie Anderson. How has the female maverick songstress not got him as a backing singer? |

"I was in Ireland last month and a band In a pub sang a Scottish song called Caledonia it blew me away completely in love with this song now and so many beautiful versions "
I agree that it’s an amazing song - still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand and want to go back in Scotland |

Written by Dougie MacLean, his rendition with several guests on YouTube is brilliant

This needs doing, seeing how She's made Cornwall her home, time zones are no longer an excuse.
Tori can be on the big grand piano and Peter can be in that red dress with the fox head. |

McCartney- Maybe I'm Amazed
Baby, I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time
And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
You hung me on the line
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you
Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby, I'm a man
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh
Baby, I'm a man, maybe I'm a lonely man
Who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Baby, I'm a man
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time
Maybe I'm afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I'm wrong
Maybe I'm amazed at the way I really need you |
